No we do not need to pray to God for many hours to know and attain God. The truth is that we need to pray to God each moment and every second of our daily lives to reach and attain God.
Each moment? Wow! But man what about our families, jobs and duties? Won’t it ruin what we call the worldly life?
Hold on! No one is asking you to become a monk or stay in seclusion to pray to God each moment. There is a method revealed by Lord Krishna in the Gita by which one can remain linked to God each moment without in the least disturbing the worldly life. In fact in this method one need not bring even the slightest change in the daily routine that one is following. One has to continue to do exactly what one has been doing all along.
This amazing method can be practiced each and every moment simply because it is based on one’s actions. And as you know that actions occur from the body each moment. And in this method one has to renounce each action to God. God is eating, God is working, God is taking a bath, God is driving, God is cooking, God is talking, God is thinking, God is dressing up, God is rising from the bed, God is going to sleep, God is listening to music, God is watching a movie, God is drinking.
Each action of the day can through this method be made into a prayer offered to God. And as this is to be done in the mind and not spoken aloud it does not interfere with one’s worldly life. In fact the other so called religious or spiritual acts can also be included and one can say God is meditating, God is singing hymns or God is performing this ritual. What more even the seemingly most absurd actions happening from the body like sneezing, coughing can be used as a prayer to God by saying within that God is sneezing or God is coughing.
But the important question is what is the effect of this method?
Lord Krishna reveals in the Bhagavad Gita that by renouncing each action to God man becomes free from worries, tension, diseases, old age and even death. All his wishes are fulfilled for he has to even renounce thoughts of desire by saying that God is making this wish. In fact the more actions one renounces in the day the more and better results one gets.
This amazingly simple yet most powerful method and the wisdom behind it has been explained in great detail by Shashi Verma in his book You Are God.
